In Short
The decor fuses classic and country styles using autumn hues of cranberry, moss, and cream. A foliage-patterned rug is combined with striped zigzag booths and dried floral arrangements, but warm lighting helps to soften the cacophony. Chef/owner Jonathon Clarke creates combinations like the earthy sauteed wild mushrooms with garlic flan. For entrees there's the seared jumbo sea scallops top a short tower of tomato fondue, smoked mozzarella and couscous all resting in a saffron-mussel broth.

This is a quaint restaurant with good food that always seems to be busy when I am there. I highly suggest that you make reservations if you don't want a long wait. Reasonable prices.

A great restaurant with an intimate setting. We went there with 3 other couples and had an amazing dinner. The polenta was great and the wine amazing.

I'll start by saying that I'm a food snob, so if I give a restaurant 5 stars it probably deserves it. We started with a basket of bread, and it came with butter and a blue cheese butter which was quite tasty. After reading about the lobster & shrimp risotto from other reviewers here, I just had to try it. It was excellent. I'm glad I ordered it even though I had a bit of shrimp in my entree. It was more on the rich side but somehow went down easy, so you could eat the whole thing (some rich dishes you just can't finish). For my entree I had sauteed free range chicken breast with bay shrimp in a madeira sauce. It came with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. This was just as good. The chicken breast was so tender and not dried out at all (quite moist actually). My friends ordered the risotto cake and "noisettes of salmon & sole a la basquaise" (see their menu on the site for details), and both were also great. As for dessert, I think it's safe to assume it would be as good as everything else was, especially with what I read on the dessert menu. Unfortunately, I didn't have any room after the risotto and healthy portion of chicken. I can highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning (probably for the halibut and dessert).
